Some of these settings may be required by your ISP. Verify
with your ISP before making any changes.
Optional Settings
Host Name Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require a host
name as identification. You may have to check with your
ISP to see if your broadband Internet service has been
configured with a host name. In most cases, leaving this
field blank will work.
Domain Name Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require a
domain name as identification. You may have to check
with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service
has been configured with a domain name. In most cases,
leaving this field blank will work.
MTU MTU is the Maximum Transmission Unit. It specifies
the largest packet size permitted for Internet transmission.
Select Manual if you want to manually enter the largest
packet size that will be transmitted. To have the Router
select the best MTU for your Internet connection, keep the
default setting, Auto.
Size When Manual is selected in the MTU field, this
option is enabled. It is recommended that you set this
value within the range of 1200 to 1500, but the value can
be defined between 128 and 1500.
